Anyone out there having any luck getting the V6 - G6 figures to work in PP2014?
I just blew 80 bucks on both figures, and so far, have nothing to show... :-P
FYI..
99% of my content is in external runtimes - that is to say my main Poser runtime contains basically what came with Poser. Everything else is in external runtimes on my D drive. One of the external runtimes is named "DAZ People" and contains the base V4, G4, M4, etc. as well as the basic Genesis figure - basic female, basic male, etc. This is where I install Genesis characters, clothing and so on.
The basic Genesis figure works fine, and I can apply any of the Genesis characters and materials, and they all work fine. I also have V5, and she works fine as well.
The thumbnails for V6 and G6 show up in my DAZ People folder when I go to my Poser library > Figures. However, when I click V6 or G6, I get a progress bar from the DSON importer that flashes for about 2 seconds. Then I get a blank Poser scene - nothing there at all. There is an indication above the parameters / properties tabs that shows "Genesis 2 Female" as if it was there, but I see no figure at all.
I thought all I had to do was purchase/install the V6 files - at least that's the impression I got when reading the product description at DAZ. It comes with the Poser Companion Files, which when unzipped contain a "runtime" folder. I have copied this to the "DAZ People" runtime, and also the the "data" "people" and "runtime" folders under "my library."
So - anyone have any ideas? Do I need to buy something else? Or am I just having a brain fart? (entirely possible...)
Thanks for any advice!

Never mind.......
Got it! :-D
It’s working now….. Finally figured out where to install everything… What was confusing me was the fact that the DAZ People folder has a folder for data, people, and runtime. There’s also another folder called ‘my library’ and it also contains folders called ‘data,’ ‘people,’ and ‘runtime.’
Everything needed to be installed in the data, people, and runtime folders under the main DAZ People folder, and not in the ‘my library folder.’ Confusing? Just a tad, but then I have my runtimes set up differently than most folks, I’m guessing….
I do this basically in case something happens I have my runtimes backed up - and all I have to do is re-link them to Poser’s Libraries rather than spend 6 months reinstalling content….
Anyway, it’s all working now, and I’m a happy camper again. :-D
